How I like debugging help 7. How I like research and recommendations 8. How direct or detailed you should be 9. What frustrates me or wastes my time 10. What you should avoid doing 11.

Output B: Memory Items - Create a numbered list of memory items. - Each item should be written as a sentence I can approve, reject, or edit. - Only include durable facts that will still be useful months from now. - Mark anything sensitive or optional clearly. - Do not include random temporary tasks. Output C: USER_PROFILE.md - Create a detailed Markdown profile with these sections: - Who I Am - Current Work and Long-Term Goals - Technical Level - Hardware and Software Setup - Preferred Communication Style - Debugging Preferences - Research Preferences - Coding and Project Preferences - Decision-Making Style - Things To Avoid - Durable Memories To Consider - Codex Project Instructions After creating the three outputs, also give me exact next steps: 1. What to paste into ChatGPT Custom Instructions. 2. Which memory items to ask ChatGPT to remember. 3. Where to save USER_PROFILE.md. 4. How to reference USER_PROFILE.md from Codex AGENTS.md.
